Slag is no joke, so make sure you’re prepared when you show up at the job site with a cool welding helmet. It takes one hell of a helmet to stop 2,000 degrees on a collision course with your skin, and more often than not, helmet-makers sacrifice aesthetics for function. At Save Phace, you don’t have to choose. Rather than run around in a clunky helmet that looks like someone took a piece of metal and added straps to it, you can keep your face slag-free and look like a boss the whole time.

Old School Series- black out

The EFP mask is filled with Save Phace’s ergonomic design and are fitted to shape your head. Not only are they more comfortable, but they allow you to get into tighter spaces, keeps you cooler with better air circulation, and can be custom painted to anything you want.

Save Phace EFP Gen X -DOA

They’re the world’s first masks with a 180-degree viewing area, and the Gen X series are the only welding helmets fitted with an auto darkening filter lens that offers the same range of 180-degree vision as the OS Series. If you’re looking for the best welding helmet, Save Phace is the place to go.

Save Phace EFP Gen Y- Coming FALL 2012

The Gen Y Series offers all of the great features as the Gen X Series, BUT, it’s the 1st and ONLY Welding Helmet in the world that offers you an Adjustable ADF (Auto Darkening Filter- shades 4/9-13 with Grind Mode) integrated into a 180° Lens design! The Gen Y is coming in the Fall of 2012, so be ready for this standout helmet.

Save Phace EFP Custom helmet- Venom

When it comes to the best airsoft guns it’s like choosing the most beautiful girls: best is in the eye of the gun holder. Every airsoft enthusiast has that special something they are looking for in the best airsoft gun. The only thing they agree on is the need for an airsoft mask. The question is not which are the best airsoft guns overall, but which is the best airsoft gun for you.

If you like picking your targets off at a distance, you want the best airsoft sniper rifle you can get your hands on. You want a gun that’s accurate at long range. Rate of fire is not a concern. To get accuracy at long range, you are probably going to need a higher muzzle velocity.

On the other hand, if you are into mowing your opponents down at close range with a machine gun, you want to find the best automatic airsoft guns available. Up close and personal means range and accuracy are not as important. Rate of fire, rapid reloading and long battery life for an AEG is all-important.

Of course, if you’re all into James Bond or playing the FBI or other law enforcement agent, you might prefer a pistol. In this case, you’ll probably want a gas-powered gun.

One thing to keep in mind when choosing the best airsoft guns: the best airsoft gun is the one you can afford and still do the job. It doesn’t make sense to spend all your hard-earned money on an awesome airsoft gun and have no cash for ammo or protective gear. Armies going into the field with awesome weapons but no ammo or body armor LOSE! That’s how dumb two-bit dictators get overthrown—all flash and no fire power.

So get the best airsoft guns to do the job you want them to do and still have money left over for the Best Face Protection Mask for adrenaline junkies, the Save Phace tactical mask with sick graphics.

When getting ready for your first simulated battle using airsoft, for beginners the best advice is buy cheap. Your first gun won’t be your last, and you will want to save some money for other tactical gear like an airsoft mask and ammunition. There are three types of airsoft guns: spring, gas, and electric. Let’s take a look at each type and see what might be best for beginners.

Spring guns require you to manually cock the gun before each shot. Cocking sets the spring so when you pull the trigger, the energy stored is released to propel the bb. Obviously, spring airsoft guns do not allow automatic fire like a machine gun. They will be more like firing a bolt action rifle.

The advantage spring guns offer for beginners is they are less expensive, so it doesn’t cost a fortune to get into the hobby. The disadvantage is their slow rate of fire; so you may get dissed in combat situations over you slow gun (not to mention slaughtered if you don’t have good cover).

Gas powered guns are generally more expensive. While the gas blowback gives more of a sensation of firing a real gun, these tend to be used more by collectors and serious hobbyists. While they allow automatic fire and offer some of the highest muzzle velocities, they are not the best airsoft guns for beginners. Since they are most commonly found as pistols, it would not be your first choice in a battle anyway.

This leaves electric airsoft guns. These use a battery powered motor to set the spring. You can get fully automatic action. In fact, these are referred to as Automatic Electric Guns (AEG). They tend to be more expensive than spring guns, and with multiple moving parts they will break more often. However, newer guns are generally pretty rugged and should give you prolonged use as long as you do they required routine maintenance.

The disadvantage of AEGs is the battery. While they are rechargeable, you will probably want to carry extras if you are going to be doing battle. Running out of ammo is bad; running out of juice is worse.

Since airsoft guns are essentially a form of bb gun, you need to get the right size. Airsoft guns do not use the same size bbs as a standard bb gun, and different airsoft guns use different sizes. Make sure your gun and ammo match.

And unless you are really into pain, equipment for airsoft for beginners and experts alike must include the best Face Protection Mask for adrenaline junkies. The Save Phace tactical mask with sick graphics will make your enemies flee. With custom graphics you can really put on your warrior face.

At Save Phace, we like to get involved in events that help the community, which is why we donated ten of our masks to the Clarks Hill Fish for Life Foundation earlier this spring. In a nutshell, the charity helps abused, neglected or underprivileged children in Columbia County (Georgia) by providing support for families in need. For example, proceeds from open-team bass fishing tournaments go toward meeting the charity’s goals. Here’s a deeper look at the Clarks Hill Fish for Life Foundation and how Save Phace has been involved in changing children’s lives.

About theFoundation

In 2010, a handful of avid bass fishermen in Augusta, Ga., came together for a single cause: use the sport of bass fishing to help less fortunate families and children in the community. The foundation is made up of concerned citizens who want to benefit the lives of others. It doesn’t exist to benefit any private parties, but simply to support those who are suffering. Today, three bass fishing tournaments are held per year in Columbia County to raise funds for the foundation’s efforts.

Clarks Hill Fish for Life Foundation Testimonial

CEO Ron Brown expressed his thanks to Save Phace for the mask donations.

“I want to thank you and your company for all you have done,” Brown said. “We had a huge turnout; almost 400 kids attended the latest fishing tournament! It was a great day, and your Save Phace masks were a big hit. We made a lot of money on the raffle, and every winner was very happy with their mask. I wish you really knew how much your donation is helping the underprivileged children of the CSRA. Thanks again for your support!”

Accomplishments

In the past two years, the Clarks Hill Fish for Life Foundation has accomplished some pretty amazing things. With the help of local volunteers, sponsors and the founding bass fishermen, the foundation has:

Given assistance to a cancer patient who had to travel far for treatment.

Donated funds to cancer research and prevention.

Helped a local family when their home was lost in a fire.

Awarded college scholarships to two deserving students.

Donated hundreds of toys to deserving children.

Provided funds to the Columbia County Exchange Club to benefit the Child Advocacy Center.

Supported the Wildwood Park through contributed funds.

Offered donations to the local food bank.

Donated kitchen equipment to a local church.

The Clarks Hill Fish for Life Foundation is just scratching the surface of their potential for serving the local community, and we were proud to be a part of a recent event!

Now that you’re breaking out the motorcycle for spring and summer riding, you’ve got to get the right motorcycle riding equipment for safety and protection. A convertible is enough for some people, but motorcycle enthusiasts need an even greater open-air experience. Here’s what motorcycle equipment you and your passenger should be wearing when cruising on your bike:

Jacket: It may be awesome to feel the wind on your bare arms, but if you want to keep them from being scraped up in an accident, suck it up and put on a jacket. Leather is a good look for you anyway.

Pants: Again, shorts may be cooler and breezier, but the legs are the most commonly injured body parts in motorcycle accidents. You don’t need fancy riding pants in your motorcycle riding equipment arsenal; jeans work just fine. You can get your hands on some sweet motorcycle riding pants if you want, though.

Gloves: Nice gloves give you a steady grip on the motorcycle handlebars and protect your hands from cold wind. In case of an accident, they obviously provide protection if you go flying and try to break your fall with your hands. Gloves are clearly a must in your motorcycle riding equipment.

Helmet or mask: It’s not uncommon to see a motorcyclist with no more protective gear than a helmet, and some riders don’t even have that. If you’re one of those who choose not to wear a helmet, you should at least include a Sports Utility Mask with your motorcycle riding equipment to protect your face. Of course, if you prefer whipping wind that brings tears to your eyes—or you want the extra protein gained when you swallow a bug every few minutes—then by all means, don’t wear a helmet or a mask. Otherwise, include one in your motorcycle equipment arsenal.

Customizing baits and tackle is something serious anglers have been doing to gain an edge since the advent of the first lure. Having your hard baits, such as crank baits, jerk baits and swimbaits custom painted has gained a lot of momentum in the last 2 years or so. With the rise in popularity of Facebook, we’re now able to see those who are painting lures, pouring worms and inventing cool new gadgets for our beloved sport. There’s good and bad in that. Some think it’s cool to see all of the trick stuff that you can get, while some don’t want their “secrets” out and give up that edge. Do they really give you an edge? Here is my take on it.

There are those who think that those type of hard baits are purely reaction baits. One might argue that since the fish is just “reacting” to the bait and biting it purely out of predatory instinct, that the color doesn’t really matter. I don’t disagree with that point, but I also think it’s a matter of timing. For example, just because you caught fish one day on three different colored crank baits, may not mean that color doesn’t matter. There are times when bass are simply “on the chew” and would have probably eaten any number of reaction baits. Conversely, what do you do on days where the water is clear, there is a lot of pressure or the fish just don’t seem to cooperate? Let’s all bear in mind that bass are a catch and release species at most of our impoundments and even where they can be legally taken, most avid bass fishermen still release the fish. Therefore, the greater portion of the bass population has seen roughly the same patterns and colors of lures for most of their lives.

I am one of the believers in the theory that the bass become conditioned. In a book written by Dr. Keith Jones, his studies revealed that bass “remember negative experiences with lures for 3 months, and maybe longer”. Another 4 year study conducted inIllinois, documented the recapture rate of Largemouth Bass. The average bass was caught twice each season, but some bass were caught up to 16 times in a single season. Both of these studies showed me that I need to be creative and attempt to show the bass in my area something new and that does not have a negative memory associated with it. This was my personal basis for “buying into” the theory of using colors and lures that could not be found on the shelves of a tackle shop.

There are many painters out there, but I have been exclusively using Paul Smith from Pizz Customs. His color patterns are creative and his realistic FX Series have fooled some of the toughest fish for me. Here are some of the general rules I follow when selecting colors and types of custom paint on my hard baits. When the scenario calls for “Matching the Hatch”, I select an FX Series lure colors because it looks more like a real Bluegill or Threadfin Shad. When the water is clear, I select “Ghost” colors or translucent colors to help fool the bass into biting. When the water is stained, I select brighter colors and patterns like white, chartreuse, orange, etc. When the weather is overcast or dark out (I.E. night), I use dark colors like blue or black. In low-light conditions, the fish see the silhouette or outline of a bait much more clear with a dark colored bait.

So, why not try something new and formulate your own opinion. Come on, we all know that having some cool looking baits that your friends and fishing partners don’t have is never bad!
